Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut the zucchini into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Drizzle zucchini with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and black pepper.

Use a rubber spatula to toss zucchini until evenly coated in oil and seasonings. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the zucchini.

Roast the zucchini on middle rack of oven, flipping slices halfway through cook time, until it is fork tender and golden brown, 18-22 minutes.

Check to see that zucchini is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Serve immediately.

My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

Zucchini Moisture Management 💧
Pat zucchini slices dry with paper towels before seasoning to prevent excess moisture and ensure crispy, golden edges when baking.
Cheese Coating Technique 🧀
Grate Parmesan fresh and mix with a small amount of breadcrumbs for an extra crispy, golden-brown topping that adheres perfectly to the zucchini.
Slice Uniformity Matters 🔪
Use a mandoline or sharp knife to cut zucchini into consistent 1/4-inch thick slices to ensure even cooking and attractive presentation.
Oil Infusion Hack 🫒
Briefly marinate zucchini slices in olive oil and seasonings for 10-15 minutes before baking to enhance flavor penetration and overall taste.
Crispiness Maximization 🔥
Finish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to achieve a perfectly crisp, golden-brown Parmesan crust that adds incredible texture.
